[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

You turn on your walkie-talkie and whisper:

"Blizzard, hold off the enemy on the left and cover my sneak attack. Captain, after I move, help me attack the left and buy me some time."

Blizzard: "Received."

Luo Wei: "Understood."

After receiving confirmation, you take a half-step back with one foot, take a deep breath, and then push off with all your might and run out.

Your eyes are fixed on the gap to your left front. After a few steps of running up, you suddenly kneel down!

The smooth floor and the knee pads on your knees create a low coefficient of friction, allowing you to maintain speed while your low profile avoids exposing too much of your body.

You slide sideways on your knees through the gap, heading straight for the corner of the wooden crate behind you, until your body crashes into the crate, stopping your slide.

The pain from the impact is irrelevant; your eyes and the muzzle of your gun are rapidly probing the enemy ahead.

When the enemy sees you suddenly rushing towards them and turns to shoot, you are one step ahead, aiming your gun correctly and hitting them!

Then, you brace yourself with one hand on the ground and use the low friction to quickly rotate your body, facing the enemy with your gun in the gap to your right rear!

Almost instantly, you both fired at the same time!

You shot him in the head!

And you, suddenly felt a sharp pain in your chest, and a red stain appeared on your bulletproof vest.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent!

Then, Lo Wei's voice came through the headphones.

“yn, an enemy downstairs was eliminated before you. The one you just hit was the last enemy.”

According to the exercise regulations, when both sides have only one person left, they cannot use firearms.

Therefore, your kill doesn't count. Similarly, being hit by the opponent doesn't count either.

Only then did you see the other person clearly; it was Vita.

Vita must have received the notification as well; she stood up and came out.

"Come on, YN. We've trained for so long, let's have a competition."

Your combat skills, as well as those of Vita and the other female recruits at the base, all stem from Farah's tutelage.

Since you don't focus on overwhelming strength, your sparring partners are mostly male soldiers. Apart from exchanging techniques, you haven't had any serious combat with each other.

Unexpectedly, this exercise has inadvertently set up a stage for you to compete.

The exercise is like a battlefield, and friends have become enemies. You cannot and should not go easy on them.

You stand up, pat the colored powder off your chest, and then draw the wooden dagger from your lower back.

Did you bring it?

Vita shook his head: "We don't need weapons. Let's take this opportunity to see the strength of the other side."

Although they were friends, Vita harbored some resentment.

She has seen all your efforts, but she didn't pay much attention to the previous assessments, so it was within her expectations that you would stand out.

But she didn't expect you to rank so high. In several assessments, she was behind a complete novice, which made her keep harboring a thought in her mind.

I want to have a real competition with you.

Let her see your true abilities, you newbie!

You nodded, then casually tossed the wooden dagger in your hand onto the ground.

The dagger spun and slid far across the ground until it hit a wooden crate not far away and came to a stop.

"Let's see who can get the dagger first and eliminate the other."

Vita glanced at the dagger but didn't rush forward. Her goal wasn't to use weapons to suppress the outcome of the battle.

But you don't understand her thoughts. You just want to end the fight as soon as possible, so after exchanging a glance with Vita, you set off to rush towards the dagger.

If the battle can't remain deadlocked, then you must break it; take the initiative.

Seeing you move, Vita immediately rushed towards you, interrupting your advance with a flying kick.

You stop in your tracks, then bend your knees forward and lift your leg, intending to kick Vita's side leg to bring her down.

But Vita reached out and hooked her arm around your neck, pulling you down with her, and then you both fell to the ground.

At this moment, Blizzard and Rowe walked over. After seeing you fighting, Blizzard wanted to step forward but Rowe raised his hand to stop him.

"The rule is, one-on-one combat. If yn isn't good enough, then we'll go in."

Blizzard understands your personality, which is why they wanted to stop you, but they stopped after being reminded of the rules by Rowe.

Meanwhile, after being knocked down by Vita, you reached out and slashed at her armpit with your hand like a knife, then circled around your head to break free from her grip.

You continued toward the dagger, but your leg was caught between Vita's legs, and you were tripped and fell forward!

Then she pounces on you, sits on your back, and uses her hands to strangle your neck from back to front.

Now you understand Vita's seriousness; you can't obtain the weapon without subduing her.

You grab her hand that's choking you with one hand, and with the other hand, you suddenly strike her ribs with your elbow!

You didn't use your full strength, but the pain was enough to make her loosen her grip on your neck.

You roll over and move her off your back.

Your goal has never changed; it's that dagger.

You can't kill them, and neither can Vita; the only way to determine victory or defeat is through "weapons."

Kovita didn't give up easily either, and rolled over to throw a punch at you!

You dodge, and her foot kicks you in the stomach.

You were kicked back two steps, and you frowned, clutching your stomach.

"Vita, are you sure you want to do this?"

She raised an eyebrow, revealing a provocative smile:

"I told you, show me your strength! Or... are you scared?"

You find her somewhat radical attitude strange, but since she's taken it seriously, you no longer hold back.

You clench your fists, rush towards Vita, and throw a punch.

She dodged, grabbed your fist, and tried to grab you with her own.

And this is the moment you've been waiting for!

When she grabs your hand behind your back, grab the back of her clothes with your other hand, and then reach your hand that's been grabbed towards her abdomen.

Then, you pulled on the back with your hand and lifted up the abdomen with your hand. Vita, who was originally holding you with his back to the ground, was instead pulled and lifted by you, causing his body to flip over and land on his back with a thud.

Vita was thrown to the ground!

Chapter 27: Defeated opponent

This move is similar to the cloud hands in Tai Chi, except that what was originally a defensive hand has become a pulling hand.

The attacking hand turned into a lifting and flipping motion.

But the core principle remains the same: using minimal force to overcome great strength, leveraging external forces to exert power.

You haven't studied this; this action is completely subconscious. Perhaps this is the subconscious influence of cultural knowledge.

After you knocked Vita down, you didn't waste any time and immediately ran to the corner to pick up the dagger you had thrown.

After you got the weapon, Vita's expression turned wary.

You have the advantage, so take the initiative and attack her with the knife in your backhand.

In order to avoid being 'hurt', Vita could only dodge repeatedly.

But human strength has its limits, and before long you were both panting heavily, your strength clearly waning.

With your last ounce of strength, you pin Vita down, then grip the knife and slash at her neck.

But it didn't go smoothly; she grabbed your hand with her left hand to resist.

You were almost out of strength, and judging from the fact that she could still restrain you with her left hand, she was stronger than you.

No!

This is your last chance. If you fail this time, your stamina will not be able to keep up, and you will be destined to be eliminated in this match.

Even if you are eliminated, there is still Blizzard, Rowe, and other teammates who can take your place.

Vita's fate was sealed.

But when you look into Vita's determined eyes, you feel a surge of energy within you for some reason.

You're unwilling to accept it. Yes, you're unwilling to accept that after working so hard for so long, victory is just around the corner, only to be handed over to someone else!

You grit your teeth and press your hand down hard, trying to bring the dagger close to Vita's neck.

But Vita is also resisting, and your advance is extremely difficult.

You and she stared at each other closely, your eyes brimming with defiance and stubbornness.

Fine beads of sweat dampened your foreheads and temples.

Suddenly, your eyes narrowed, and after a rapid surge of thoughts in your mind, you flipped the dagger in your hand, which was originally gripping it in reverse, and the position of the dagger immediately changed.

The dagger that you used to hold backwards is now held upright!

You swung your hand to the right, and the wooden dagger grazed Vita's neck, leaving a light red mark!

Since you can't press it down with your hand, then find another way. Just swing it away!

Vita was originally able to resist your pressure by relying on the support of her hand bones, but your swinging motion caused her hand to deviate from its support point, which is equivalent to losing power.

The outcome of this game is already decided!

You gasped for breath, struggled to your feet, and then reached out your hand to Vita.

Without hesitation, she grabbed your hand and used it to sit up.
